Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday called for Democratic leaders to ban the involvement of super PACs in Democratic primary elections. Sanders's ask was part of a letter written to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin. The Vermont senator's call for a...
In 1941, first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie, President Franklin Roosevelt‘s Republican challenger the previous year, founded Freedom House “to rally policymakers and a broadly isolationist American public around the fight against Nazi Germany and to raise awareness of the fascist threat to American security and values.” With the defeat of the Axis powers […]
Wherever you stand on the Ukrainian cause, and I’m reservedly sympathetic, it’s clear that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made an inexplicable error in his now-infamous press conference with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Trump doesn’t care very much about Ukraine’s future. That’s the reality. So, whether Zelensky was right or wrong on factual […]
The Biden administration saw unprecedented numbers of illegal aliens enter our country. As a result, the public saw its security compromised, its communities inundated, its public resources overwhelmed, and billions of its tax dollars squandered. At the same time, the criminal cartels that ran massive human smuggling operations grew ever richer and more powerful as […]
President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night joint address to Congress wasn’t just a speech; it was a booming celebration of what may be the most consequential first month of any administration in American history. Trump has set a pace so brisk that beltway journalists are scrambling to keep up. Luckily for them, the White House is […]
“He’s hot. He’s ‘dangerous.’ Young men actually listen to him. Is he what Democrats are looking for?” That’s how the left-wing media outlet Slate recently described leftist Twitch streamer and YouTube star Hasan Piker. Turns out, it got one part right: He’s dangerous, for sure. Piker went viral this week for repeatedly suggesting on-air that […]
The recent news of Gene Hackman’s death was an occasion to celebrate the Oscar-winning actor’s long and remarkable career. Hackman is in some of the most memorable films of the past 50 years, from The French Connection (1971) to The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Hoosiers (1986) to the original Superman series, Mississippi Burning (1988) to Unforgiven (1992). He managed to be cool and charming without being especially handsome. […]
FOR HUNTER, THE BIDEN BUSINESS GOES BUST. It looks like Hunter Biden is facing a new problem: Being the son of a former president is a lot less lucrative than being the son of a sitting president. In 2023, the younger Biden filed a lawsuit against Garrett Ziegler, a former aide in the first Trump […]
President Donald Trump’s tariffs won’t deliver the tax revenue he suggested in his speech before a joint session of Congress Tuesday night. The rates are simply too high. But tariffs have never solely been about raising money. They are also supposed to protect American industries and workers, reasserting U.S. economic leverage and reshaping trade relationships. […]
Last year, according to a report just issued by the Manhattan Institute, more than a third of New York City’s public-school students were chronically...
I’m a Christian who works in public policy. I’ve led efforts to protect the lives of unborn children. I’ve spearheaded campaigns to end transgender procedures on children and stop boys from playing girls’ sports. I believe it’s essential that we elect leaders who will promote the truth and goodness in God’s creation. And that’s why […]
After decades of putting its constituents through permitting purgatory, San Francisco took the other side and won. In doing so, it avoided billions of dollars in fines from the Environmental Protection Agency because the Supreme Court held on Tuesday that the Clean Water Act did not give the agency the power to punish the city […]
You’ve made a huge political comeback. You’re deeply suspicious of the Washington bureaucracy. You’re contemptuous of liberal elites and the media they control, especially...
